[Verse 1]
Am                C
No milk today, my love has gone away,
    E                   Am      E             Am
The bottle stands for - lorn, a symbol of the dawn,
Am                C
No milk today, it seems a common sight,
    E              Am        E               Am
But people passing by, don't know the reason why

[Verse 2]
A                           G
How could they know ...just what this message means?
    D                    D      E      A
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
A                        G
How could they know ...a palace there had been?
D                         D    E          A
Behind the door, where my love reigned as Queen

[Verse 3]
Am                        C
No milk to - day,      it wasn't always so,
            (No milk to - day----------!)

    E           Am        E               Am
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day,
Am                   C
As music played, the faster did we dance,
           (As music played--------------!)

   E               Am        E                 Am
We felt it both at once, the start of our ro - mance

[Verse 4]
A                           G
How could they know ...just what this message means?
    D                    D      E      A
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
A                        G
How could they know ...a palace there had been?
D                         D    E          A
Behind the door, where my love reigned as Queen

[Verse 5]
Am                        C
No milk to - day,      my love has gone away,
            (No milk to - day-------------!)

    E                   Am      E             Am
The bottle stands for - lorn, a symbol of the dawn

     But all that's left is a place, dark and lonely,
(Ah--------------,  ah------, ah------------, ah-----!)

 A *            E/G#       Dmaj7
     A terraced house in a mean street, back of town,
(Ah----------,  ah------,  mean street, back of town!)

 A *            E/G#         D/F#         E/G#
     Becomes a shrine when I think of you only,
(Ah----------, ah---------,  ah---------, ah-----!)

  D                 E
 Just two-up, two - down!
(Just two-up, two - down!)

[Verse 7]
Am                        C
No milk to - day,      it wasn't always so,
            (No milk to - day----------!)

    E           Am        E               Am
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day,

Am                   C
As music played, the faster did we dance,
           (As music played--------------!)

   E               Am        E                 Am
We felt it both at once, the start of our ro - mance

The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
A                        G
How could they know ...a palace there had been?
D                         D    E          A
Behind the door, where my love reigned as Queen
